There is no real answer for that question. Epilepsy is a wide ranging condition which has many causes. For treating epilepsy, it is often a case of dealing with the cause rather than dealing with the epilepsy itself. So there are many different drugs that can be used to treat each individual. Many people with epilepsy are on a combination of drugs. Epilepsy is normally controlled rather than cured. When it comes to treatment what works for one person may not work for someone else.

Some people will stop having seizures for various reasons. People can have surgery, but this is only done in extreme circumstances due to the risks involved, so it is not an option for the majority of people. A head injury can cause epilepsy, like someone having been involved in an accident. As they recover, their epilepsy may go. Children often have epilepsy, but for some as they grow older, their epilepsy will clear up. Some have their epilepsy controlled by drugs, but while they may not be having seizures, they are not cured. If they stopped their medication their seizures could start again. So due to the many forms and causes of epilepsy and it being a case of controlling rather than curing, there is no one drug that can be said to cure epilepsy permanently.
